The staging level had been completed and running for several months and I had been inching along on the main level due to a lot of diversions to my time in the layout building. But now, I have finally been making some progress on getting a major portion of the visible part of the layout in working condition. 

Hi there chaps... this is my first post after some time away from here. I'm going to shortly be moving into a new house with a double garage and one of my goals is to build a small layout in there. As I have two cars, a multitude of bicycles, and the usual guy stuff that ends up in a garage, I'm thinking a shelf layout, probably point to point, will be the way to go.

This video is Part 2 of Layout Update for mid-June 2015.  The first part described the track installation and this part shows how the paper plan for DCC electrical installation is translated to the physical layout. 

Like most of us, we started out with a 4' x 8' layout. When I was knee high to a Grasshopper, I was biking home from a railfan trip at Oakville Yard in Ontario and spotted my Dad's car with a 4' x 8' particle board sheet strapped to the roof. Dad was never into the hobby, But he helped me get started! And I thank him for that. Happy Father's Day!

I was looking at Google maps of the area around North of Vancouver and I came across what looked like a 4' x 8' layout!
